Just mounted my new gas can holder...
Since I run spareless for my daily driving and throw the spare in the back for wheeling, I decided to make a fuel can carrier for the tailgate. It's a Blitz gas can carrier mounted to a Warrior Products tailgate center plate. I sprayed it with EZ-Liner bedliner from Canadian Tire. Here it is:

Short answer: Yes, they are safe. They can be run over and hit with projectiles and shrapnel and they WILL NOT EXPLODE. Where would you put one on your JK? Not the INSIDE I hope. It's the metal gas cans that pose a significant risk, and these are military grade plastic. Based on my experience, I'll only use the Scepter MFC. Here's some cut and paste product information with the web links below:
The Scepter Military Fuel Canister (MFC) was developed by Scepter to meet design and performance requirements set by the U.S. Army and Canadian Forces for leak-proof, rugged, safe, dependable and cost-effective plastic jerry canisters. Scepter has produced and delivered over one million MFCs.
They are made to military specifications and subjected to UN transport code classification tests. These canisters have proven themselves for their ruggedness and durability with options for fitting with various accessories.
The plastic construction prevents fatal explosion risk when the canisters are hit with shrapnel or projectiles; in fires eventually they may burn with the fuel, but no explosive pressures build during fires resulting in instantaneous explosions as is the case with metal fuel cans.
The Scepter Military Fuel Cans are simply the safest heavy-duty fuel can on the market today. These light weight MIL-spec fuel cans are designed to safely and securely transport auxiliary fuel. These cans meet DOT regulations as well as exceeding the United Nations Transportation of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations, the only fuel can on the market to meet these strict guidelines.
Scepter Military Fuel Cans are made out of injection molded polyethylene. This plastic derivitive ensures that the can will never rust or dent.
